portion control is my weak spot. I eat like a man, or a small horse. Or possibly like both combined.

For some reason, my body can handle it now, but I need to cut back before I explode into fat farm material. My eating habits reflect my state of mind, sadly. If I'm stressed and worked hard, control is thrown out the window.

I don't have a sweet tooth, thank god, but I have to eat less! Thanks for the reminder, SS. It's great that you cut back on Starbucks (I hate them. I don't know their language and don't care to learn!)

Portion control is so incredibly hard to manage, especially if one eats out with any regularity. Portions in many restaurants are just huge. It kind of wears you down after a while and suddenly a steak the size of a shoe looks normal, like dinner.

If you're under tremendous stress, it's better not to add to your mental-stress burden by worrying about the food intake... really, it could be the excess food that gives you the superhero strength to go on! Then you can worry about the excess later.

Ah, Starbucks... can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em. Here in the suburbs, locally owned coffeeshops are few and far between, so it's often - sadly - the only option for a place to meet-up with friends. I have two friends who keep toying with the idea of opening their own shops; I think they'd be overrun with business, and overjoyed at the entrepreneurial-ness of it all, if they just gave it a shot.
